8.1.1 Functions of pdrorg

The database reorganization utility (pdrorg) is used to maintain tables and indexes. Table 8-1 Use and functions of pdrorg lists the use and functions of pdrorg, and Figure 8-1 Overview of pdrorg functions shows an overview of the functions of pdrorg.

Legend:
A: Reorganize tables.
B: Unload tables.
C: Reload to tables.
D: Reorganize data dictionary tables.
E: Create indexes in batch.
F: Re-create indexes.
G: Reorganize indexes.
Y: pdrorg's function corresponding to the use
--: Not applicable

#: Normally execute index reorganization. Index re-creation involves a data search in the table, but index reorganization does not; therefore, processing speed is faster with index reorganization.
